Holy shh!! What a powerful episode! This week I interviewed Rachel Butts, a powerhouse, beautiful, radiant woman who has been a client of mine the past 3 years.  Rachel, a former pastor's wife, bravely transformed her life from one of unhappiness and suppression to one of empowerment and authenticity. She opens up about her journey to reclaim her voice, independence, and true self after years of living in a way that wasn't aligned with her inner truth in order to please everyone else.

Join us as we explore:

• The personal cost of living to please others and the harm it does to our spirit.
• The sneaky ways she was using vulnerability to get away with hiding her truth
• The freedom and empowerment that became available when she stopped calling herself a victim
• The dangers of a "right" vs. "wrong" mentality and how it traps us in unhealthy situations.
• The futility of changing ourselves to fit others' expectations and the freedom in embracing who we truly are.
• The often untold reality that healing can cause life to fall apart before it gets better, and why this process, though challenging, is ultimately what leads us to our deepest joy and alignment.
• The importance of trust and self-compassion when you leave behind a life of certainty and follow your heart/

Rachel's story is a testament to the strength it takes to break free from societal and relational expectations and the beauty that comes from living authentically, even when that journey is initially painful and we don't know where it's taking us. Whether you're struggling to find your voice, trapped in a situation that doesn't serve you, or simply in need of inspiration, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and discover the transformative power of authenticity. 🌟
